Au Old New Yorker Gives Some Advice In
5A Regard to Its Treatment.
Ee,o York Sun. II! IA Is
An old New Yorker, who was brought
up in hotels and restaurants, and knows
all about eating, gave some points to q
reporter Of the Sun the other day about
the way for man to make friends with
his stomach. "There arc two big mia-
takes that almost all persons make" said
he. "0ne is that they don't eat the
right things, and the other Is what they
do eat they don't eat right. Dyspepsia
and indigestion are killing moro people

gestion. When q man has the tremena
he'a happy sometimes, because he iorgetB
himself, but when he's got dyspepsia bis

ways conscious OF 1t. He can't sleep.
His food doesn't taste right. Boils break
out over him. Hes morbid. All hio
friends seem to have deserted him, and
some day he goes off and blows hlB
brains out, and the public and newspapers
say he had business troubles. Businesa

When you got up this morning what
did you do? Went right of to breakfast
and filled yourself, with your nose in the
papers and your mind running over the
earth. You don't know what you ate, or
how much or how long 1t took. For sll
the good it did you, you might as we'll
have swallowed bacon and cornbread, or
turkey and buckwhcst cakes, or any other
mixture that would take up space in your
stomach. Then, while you ate, you gulpsd
down ice-water and coffee alternately, and
when you got through you lit cigar and
went down town, glad you had done your
part Of the work Of the day.
That's not breakfasting. It's loading
up your stomach, and it's worse for you
than II you hadn't eaten anything. Then
you have headache and feel bad, and
grow lat aud wonder why 1t. all is. It's
because you don't pay as much attention
to your stomach as you do to your office
boy. Your stomach tskes ite revenge by
making you wretchsd. To squelch 1t you
pour lot of liquor into it and gulp some
ice water on that with a cracker or pref
zel and bit Of cheese. What sort OF Q
mixture is that? Just imagine the cheese
and rum and pre!zskand think that some.
thing inside Of you haa to get away with
that. II you want to drink, drink aud
enjoy your drink. Don't down it and
fling things at it when you've got it down.
Take glass Of wine and enjoy it, but
don't fling it into your stomach as You
would your fist into somebody's eye.
Your stomach ought to DO your friend,
but II you go to pitching into 1t it'll chow
fight, and you may as we'll understand
that it will get the best OF it.
when you get up in the morning take
q big drink Of water. Your system wants
water first. An engine ian't first fred up
and then como water let into the boiler.
Clean you teeth, and let the water run
from the spigot while you're doing 1t.
Then drink a pint Of it. Use common
hydraut water no ice, no salt, no mineral
water. Ordinary water is good enough for
an ordinarily healthy man. Keep away
from drugs and pills and give your stom-
